Established in 2005, Domaine de Bellene is dedicated to crafting expressive wines from old vines, guided by a strong commitment to sustainable, organic farming. Under the stewardship of winemaker and proprietor of the late Nicolas Potel, the domaine has focused on producing wines that faithfully reflect both place and vintage, while safeguarding the land and its traditions for future generations. Today, Domaine de Bellene is widely respected among Burgundy enthusiasts for its thoughtful range of wines spanning both celebrated and lesser-known appellations.

Saint-Romain sits in an isolated valley northeast of Auxey-Duresses. This wine is drawn from four distinct vineyard parcels—Les Poillanges, Aux Bas des Poillanges, La Perrière, and Sous le Château—all planted in 1957.

Bright and red-fruit driven, the wine is notably fresh and energetic, with tart fruit character at its core. Grainy, grippy tannins provide structure to the light, slightly funky flavours, while a gently austere edge and stony mineral note carry through the finish.

From a high-density 1956 planting of pinot noir, aged in 20% new wood and the rest in used barrels, this is complex and perfumed Saint Romain, especially spicy and stemmy in a good way, adding an impression of freshness and counter-balancing the ripe red berry fruit. The palate is mid-weight, properly firm and structured, with high sapidity and excellent length, and well-integrated, dusty tannins that still need some time to settle in. In the context of the region, I have to say this is an excellent value red Burgundy. I'd cellar for another 2-3 years minimum before enjoying, or hold until the end of the decade without concern. Great complexity and depth. Tasted May 2022.
